The property is situated in the friendly village of Higher Downgate, part of the parish of Stoke Climsland with its strong royal connections, having the Duchy College within its bounds. Quietly nestling in a village lane we are just below one of Cornwall's famous landmarks, Kit Hill, from where visitors can take in the superb, far-reaching views of the Cornish vista including Plymouth Sound and across to Dartmoor, truly spectacular scenery whatever the time of year. The surrounding area, including Kit Hill, will provide ample scope for the energetic, both walkers and cyclists will not be at a loss for places to explore. For the less energetic a leisurely stroll along village lanes will prove quite therapeutic.

The double bedroom has a washbasin and en-suite toilet/shower
   
 The twin bedroom has a wash basin and en-suite bathroom
 
Walking

Grovewood is ideally situated on the edge of the beautiful Tamar Valley which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and provides many walking opportunities for both lovers of natural history and industrial archaeology.  Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor are only a dozen or so miles away and provide enormous potential for the keen walker or horse rider.

Grovewood can provide packed lunches and evening meals and has an excellent drying room for walkers' gear.

 

Eating Out

When it comes to eating out there is a good choice of reasonably priced restaurants. Within the Callington locale gastronomic choices can be as varied as Chinese or Indian as well as pub food and bistros.
